And since when am I known for disappearing acts after calling a fight wrong?
Most of my calls go right, anyway. And even when I don't get the result, most of what I say plays out in the fight.
A contender is exactly what he is. That strap means little, and I believe you know this...secretly.Comment

Yeah who was 40 years old and used to fight at almost the SMW limit and Diva still couldn't put him away (so much for his vaunted punching power).
Biko was an impressive looking mofo, had more than 30 pounds of pure muscle on Klitschko, check out that fight on YT. 9-2-1 is not that impressive but Wlad had the same number of pro fights as him. Age and health matter a great deal as well, not just experience, if you can't execute the plan with your body it doesn't matter how much experience you have (that's why old fighters become trainers when they can't fight anymore).
Bottomo line Haye is chinny and has **** defense, he was getting tagged by an old Ruiz for ****'s sake and was knocked down by an old Barrett. He is no Tyson either, it's not like he runs and destroys guys in the second round, he takes his time and that plays into Wlad's strengths.
Look the fight is not even official yet, it's not happening as far as I am concerned.Comment

They have been fighting mandatories, champs, undefeated YOUNG guys, not old 40-year olds 10 years older than them. Every single one of Diva's opponents at HW has been at least 36 and 8 years older than him, on the verge of retirement, he has yet to face a top 10 young HW, as he promised 3 years ago he would do.Comment

LOL, that's the point.
The "bums" the Klitschkos have supposedly been feasting on >>> Bonin, journeyman Barrett, old Valuev, old Ruiz and...HARRISON.
So, while their opposition isn't fantastic, the very fact that you don't realize it's still much better than Haye's level of comp at HW says everything about your knowledge of the game.
Haye's best win is still Mormeck by far.Comment

You dumb Brit, he said the same exact thing about the Vitaly fight 2 years ago before pulling out to fight Valuev. It must be something in that ale, you Brits don't have a very good memory.Haye told the BBC: "We agreed terms and just need to dot the I's and cross the T's. Plain and simple - this is how boxing should be.”
“We sat down and talked numbers that made sense for both sides and it's done and dusted..”
Haye became undisputed Cruiserweight champion by sensationally knocking out title-holders Jean-Marc Mormeck and Enzo Maccarinelli. His transition to Heavyweight boxing saw him demolish American Monte Barrett inside five rounds last month and now has his sights set on defeating arguably the world’s number one heavyweight.
“I have said from day one I am going to be the undisputed cruiserweight and heavyweight champion and I have not disappointed. I am not cherry-picking; I am going after the most dangerous fighter on the planet.” said Haye.
“This is going to be the biggest fight since Lennox and Tyson!”Comment
